WIW for the Heat - YouLookFab Forum

I mentioned my high heat uniform for work is a patterned dress, jacket (for the office AC) and peep toes. Here are this weeks living the heat examples
1. Dress - Betsey Johnson (my Ted Baker copycat) floral dress, BR Heritage blazer (blush pink with black buttons to summarize it), Ralph Lauren pumps (my black peep toes died and need replacement)
2. Ellen Tracey print shirtdress, Brooks Brothers jacket, Calvin belt, Kelsi Dagger Peep Toe wedges
3. Tahari sheath dress, LL Bean belt, Kensie jacket, Nine West peep toes
It's also my FFBO for the season so it serves a lot of purposes and leaves me sweat and stress free in the mornings.

That's a pretty fun uniform! I especially love the dress in 2, but maybe the 3rd outfit is my fave.

I can see why it's a FFBO, they all look great. Also clever in that if you did have to go outside for more than a few minutes you can just pop off the jacket. I really like the longer jacket lengths with the dresses. Do you have the brown version of the Kelsi Dagger wedges? Cute colorway!

An interesting 'uniform' that looks professional in the heat with the jacket for coping with a/c. The peep toe shoes keep the outfit summery.

Oh I love #2 (red shoes / greenish dress--> awesome style!)
I also love #1 - I just love florals.

I love the idea of having a versatile outfit formula for summer days, and this one works really well for you. Professional, pretty, and functional!

I can see why this is your uniform. They all look great. I have to say I love, love love the first dress. I have a real thing for that print. I have been looking for a skirt in a similar print. Great looks.

Maneera

Love your summer uniform. Looks easy but so polished at the same time. The Blazers look really great on your pretty dresses....I wonder why that never works for me.

Love all the dresses. I can't decide whether I like #1 or #3 more! You look fab!

Beth Ann

The formula is always a winner, but your examples here are a cut above because the dresses are so flattering and interesting. I've also got a sugar eye for wedge heels -- comfy and great looking.

Lovely dresses. There's no doubt about it, a frock beats the heat.

I'd say it's a slam dunk. Great FFBO's. I particularly like #2.

Astrid

Great formula! They're all lovely but my favourite is #3.

Thanks everyone. Temps are rising again for next week so I'll be sporting more of the same. Luckily I have a closet full of jackets and have stocked up on colorful print dresses. I need to refresh my shoes as these are starting to show the use.
@Aida - I have the Kelsi Dagger wedges in nude patent toe with black back (below) and orange patent toe with brown back (the ones in #2) I would scoop up the other color in a heartbeat, but I think they were discontinued over a year ago and I can't find my size anymore. They also came in a fun green. They have been total workhorses for 3 summers and are just now getting less comfy.

Wow, I do this formula mostly with a denim jacket to dress down a bit, yours are all very elegant, and am your pal ref. wedged shoes, too:-)

Vicki

Love all three to beat the heat with style and #3 is stunning.

Fab hot weather fall back outfits! I still live that dress in 2. That is such a great color on you. The peep toes are perfect here--funny how they can instantly add a summer vibe!
